WEEK 1- TRIANGULATION ALGORITHMS VORONOI STRUCTURES
My first exercise in Grasshopper was the experimentation on triangulation structures such as the Voronoi3D. I was really amazed by how easily the form can be manipulated by adjusting the parameters in the script to determine the number of cells in one unit. By using Grasshopper, the alteration and changes that have been made will be stored in the model thus making the modelling process at a higher rate of production
OCT TREE
The oct tree data structure is also one of the interesting algorithm form that I find to be intriguing as by assigning and altering the number of points on a curved surface allows me to generate different compositions of clustered cubic geometries that in turn can be altered in their size and dimension
WEEK 2- LOFTING AND CURVE MENU
4
CONCEPTUALISATION
The technique of lofting in Grasshopper is similar in many ways with that in Rhino but because the program stores implicit information, the changes and alterations that were made to the objects in Rhino will be automatically updated in Grasshopper that enables an infinite variations of form to be created from the same object. The orginal form above was lofted from 3 distinct curves and the uniqueness of the program allowed me to generate multiple variations from the changes that I have made to each indvidual curve and different loft types that were enabled in the options.
Based on the techniques that I have discovered from the software I was able to create a simple desk/workstation from combining the two methods that incorporate different sitting positions.
